Aeronautical propulsion system having electric fans

An aircraft defining a vertical direction, a longitudinal direction, and a transverse direction, the aircraft comprising:

• a fuselage;
• a propulsion system comprising a power source and a plurality of vertical thrust electric fans driven by the power source;
• and
• a wing extending from the fuselage in the transverse direction, the wing comprising a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a support structure, the support structure comprising a plurality of first support members and a plurality of second support members, the plurality of first support members extending at least partially between the plurality of second support members, wherein the plurality of second support members includes a leading edge second support member extending parallel to the leading edge of the wing, wherein the plurality of first support members includes a trailing edge first support member extending parallel to the trailing edge of the wing, wherein the plurality of vertical thrust electric fans is arranged between the plurality of first support members and the plurality of second support members, wherein a first group of vertical thrust electric fans of the plurality of vertical thrust electric fans is arranged along the trailing edge first support member, and wherein a second group of vertical thrust electric fans of the plurality of vertical thrust electric fans is arranged along the leading edge second support member.
